Chapter 252 To be divided (two more)
“Mother!” Gu Jian noticed something wrong with Mrs. Gu Tai and called out nervously.
Mrs. Gu Tai rolled her eyes, and her upper body fell forward with no strength, only Gu Jian’s worried voice came into her ears: “Mother…”
Mrs. Gu Tai’s consciousness was soon completely swallowed by the darkness, and she fainted.
After , she didn’t know anything.
Surrounded by a boundless darkness, cold and ruthless…
When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a carriage, the carriage swayed slightly, and the monotonous sound of horse hooves and wheels outside the carriage came to her ears.
Mrs. Gu Tai felt like a dream, as if everything just happened was just a nightmare.
“Mother, you’re awake!” Seeing that Mrs. Gu Tai was awake, Gu Jian shouted excitedly, “How do you feel?”
Mrs. Gu Tai turned a deaf ear, her eyes were still a bit erratic, and she told herself in her heart:
Yes, it was just a nightmare.
After returning to the Hou Mansion, this nightmare will naturally wake up…
At this moment, the carriage stopped steadily, the carriage swayed slightly, and a familiar female voice came from outside the carriage and scolded sharply, “Presumptuous!”
“What are you doing?! This is the Dingyuan Marquis’ Mansion, and you can’t be allowed to mess around…” Then came the angry voice of a young man.
“I’m also under orders to act, the two of you still don’t make it difficult for me to do it, so as not to accidentally bump into each other.” Another unfamiliar and indifferent male voice could not hide his threat.
The coachman outside shouted in surprise: “Master Hou!”
Gu Jian quickly picked up the curtain and looked out the window. Yuan’an Street, where the Hou residence was located, came into view, and the Hou residence had already arrived.
But……
Gu Jian couldn’t help widening his eyes, his eyes were almost stared to the extreme, and he suffered a heavy blow again.
The gate of Dingyuan Hou’s mansion is so familiar, but at this moment it is so unfamiliar, it has become unrecognizable, and it’s a chicken feather.
The plaque above the gate with the four characters “Dingyuan Hou’s Mansion” has been taken down, and the red lacquer gate with 35 door nails on the vertical seven road and the horizontal five road has also been removed.
Next to , several guards in bronze helmets and iron armor carried the two stone beasts of the town house onto a carriage. Mrs. Hou’s wife, Mrs. Wang, and Gu Xiao’s mother and son were confronting the two guards.
The mother and son were furious, and the guards and soldiers looked indifferent.
On Yuan’an Street outside Hou’s Mansion, there were also some passersby who passed by. These passersby gathered in twos and threes and pointed curiously in the direction of Hou’s Mansion.
Those watching a good show made Wang shi’s back, feeling that their mansion was being laughed at.
“Master Hou!” Seeing the carriage of Hou’s mansion, and seeing Gu Jian hurriedly stepping down from the carriage, Mr. Wang’s eyes lit up, as if he had seen a savior.
Wang hurriedly walked in the direction of Gu Jian, holding the handkerchief in one hand, and angrily pointing at the guards with the other and complaining: “Master Hou, look at them, they dare to put the plaque and gate of our Hou residence. It’s all torn down!”
Before a cup of tea, the servants came to report with trepidation that the Imperial Army was coming and wanted to forcibly demolish the plaque of the Hou’s Mansion.
But these Imperial Guards simply ignored their obstructions, just like robbers, making the Hou Mansion a complete mess.
The more he talked, the more angry he became, and said angrily: “Master Hou, this matter can’t be…” That’s all.
Halfway through her words, she stopped abruptly.
The Wang Shi, who was a tad slower, realized that something was wrong with Gu Jian. He looked lost, as if he had suffered some kind of blow.
Thinking that Gu Jian was going to the palace to pick up Mrs. Gu Tai, Mrs. Wang looked up at the carriage behind him and asked, “Master Hou, where’s your mother?”
The words are a knife to Gu Jian at this moment.
If it wasn’t for the mother’s anger at Gu Yuan for a while, why did it come to this!
Gu Jian’s face darkened, feeling that a large piece of her heart had been gouged out, and the pain was unbearable.
The empty gate of Hou Mansion is a silent irony.
Gu Jian’s heart seemed to have an angry rhino rampaging, and that anger and madness almost burst out of her body.
Gu Jian angrily pushed Wang Shi away, causing Wang Shi to stumble back two steps, but fortunately Gu Xiao caught her in time.
Gu Jian turned a blind eye, and rushed towards the empty gate without looking back. His slightly hunched back appeared in a state of despair.
“Master Hou!”
“Father!”
Wang Shi and Gu Xiao shouted at Gu Jian almost at the same time.
The mother and son were at a loss, and still couldn’t bear to know what was going on.
In the back, the patriarch got down from another carriage with the help of the servant, sighing and gloomy.
No one paid any attention to Mrs. Gu Tai in the previous carriage, and seemed to have completely forgotten her.
“Grandfather,” Gu Yuan leaped down from a tall black horse, walked to the patriarch’s side, clasped his fists and said, “I also ask you to preside over the division of the family.”
Patriarch: “…”
The patriarch wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his cuff, and the corners of his wrinkled mouth pursed into a straight line. His helpless eyes seemed to ask, do you still want to share?
Gu Yuan didn’t speak, he only looked up at the empty lintel in front of him.
After the plaque of “Dingyuan Hou’s Mansion” was removed, the shape of a plaque was left on the lintel.
The young man raised his chin with clear lines slightly, and there was a shallow smile on the corners of his firm lips.
He is clearly smiling, but it makes people feel heavy, as if there is something heavy on his shoulders, but his posture is still tall and straight, like a green pine like a long sword.
The patriarch stared blankly at Gu Yuan’s handsome profile, and from his bright eyes and firm lips, he vaguely felt that sense of mission.
The future of their Gu family is on Gu Yuan.
The thought suddenly appeared in the patriarch’s mind, and he followed, and he understood it as if he was enlightened, and his heart was like a mirror.
Yes, it can be seen from today that Mrs. Gu Tai and Gu Jian’s mother and son are narrow-minded and cannot tolerate Gu Yuan’s emergence.
If this is not separated, the mother and son may have trouble in the future, hindering Gu Yuan’s future.
At this point, the long room and the second room cannot be accommodated.
Let’s split up.
The patriarch nodded solemnly and said with his hands behind his back, “Brother Yuan, go to the hall first.”
Clan Wang looked at Gu Jian’s back and looked at the solemn face of the patriarch, and his heart was even more uncertain, and there was always an ominous feeling.
She squeezed the handkerchief tightly in her hand, and watched helplessly as the scorpion beast was removed by the Imperial Army.
Gu Xiao frowned, his chin tightened, and said to Gu Yuan strangely: “Brother, someone is making trouble at home, are you just doing nothing?”
Isn’t Gu Yuan always crazy? Now he is actually bullied to the door of the house, and he doesn’t dare to say a word!
It turns out that he is also a scumbag.
Gu Yuan only gave Gu Xiao a faint glance, as if Gu Xiao did not catch his eye at all, ignored him at all, and directly reached out to the patriarch to make a petition, “Uncle and grandfather, please.”
Gu Yuan walked side by side with the patriarch, crossing the high threshold.
Gu Xiao made the bones of his fists rattle, so he could only drag the Wang family to chase after him, and said to himself in his heart, anyway, the elder brother can only be arrogant for this moment. I’m about to move out of Hou’s mansion.
Thinking, Gu Xiao’s back was straight, and he strode towards the main hall of the outer courtyard.
The sky outside was bright and sunny, and people in the main hall were panicking.
The hall was a mess, the boxes containing the account books were half opened, and most of the account books were taken out, some were stacked high on top of each other, and some were spread out on long desks and coffee tables.
The elders of the clan did not care to read the account books, some sat drinking tea, some paced back and forth in the hall, and some looked uneasy in the direction of the gate.
“The patriarch is back!” Someone shouted.
The clan elders were instantly refreshed, and they all looked at the patriarch and Gu Yuan outside the hall with happy expressions on their faces.
The elders of the clan gathered around the clan chief and said in a vain manner:
“Brother, you are back.”
“Where’s Mrs. Tai? Can you bring it back?”
“Hey, why isn’t the Marquis with you, is he dealing with the forbidden army at the gate?”
“You should have seen the guards at the door, why did the guards come?”
“…”
Since the patriarch and the others left, these clan elders have been reading the account books here, staring at the account room to check the property, and later the Wang family called Gu Xiao to accompany him.
Everything was going well, but who would have thought, the Imperial Army suddenly came aggressively.
The elders of the clan felt uneasy, so they didn’t have the mind to keep track of the books.
greeted the inquiring eyes one after another, the patriarch waved his hand weakly, and spit out three words tiredly: “Excuse the lord.”
Removed the rank? !
The elders of the clan were startled, and the mother and son of Wang and Gu Xiao couldn’t believe their ears.
Several people sat on the chairs at the back with no strength. Some people stood there dumbfounded, and some people blurted out in disbelief: “I’ve been excommunicated? How can I be excommunicated?”
Although the title of Marquis Dingyuan belongs to Gu Yao and Gu Xuan, for the entire Gu family, the title is a guarantee, a help, and an honor.
The Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is the strength of the Gu clan.
How could the hou mansion be seized? !
The more the clan elders thought about it, the more excited they became, and the more they thought about it, the more heartache they felt. They gathered around the clan chief and asked:
“Patriarch, what the **** is going on?”
“Yeah, for no reason, how could the Houfu be deprived of the title?”
It was like a spoonful of cold water was poured into the hot oil pan, and the pan exploded in the main hall.
In the commotion, only Gu Yanfei sat on the side lightly, without even moving the corners of his eyes and brows, with a bit of calmness as the mountain collapsed in front of him.
Gu Yuan went straight to Gu Yanfei’s side and sat down, took the tea handed by his sister, and smiled slightly.
Wang’s mind went blank in shock at the bad news of being deprived of the title.
After she came back to her senses, her first reaction was that Gu Yuan must have caused the trouble for Chu Jue, her angry eyes slashed at Gu Yuan’s face like a knife, and raised her hand to point at him.
